Revert Shatter back to the Original Map

[Nubrication]

Honestly do any of you enjoy the new shatter more than the old one? WTF is with this map now? Theres literally no incentive to PvP with how fast nodes spawn, and it takes just as long as borderland ruins. Who thought taking the PvP out of shatter, and turning it into a point pinata rush was fun?

Shatter is a PvE mode. There wasn’t actual PVP in shatter for a long time now. I think stormblood was the last time people actually “pvp’d” in shatter. For context:

1. There weren’t as many FL players as there is now. Most of the time there were 8-man premades that basically hard carried alliances.
2. There was no respawn immunity. So there was a strategy that if 2 alliances were taking a large ice completely out of the way, your team would take their base nodes instead. Having all 3 bases capped gave a ton of compounding points, enough to offset not hitting a big ice.
3. These 8-man parties would sandwich enemy alliances constantly and be nigh impossible to kill, due to really good healers, dps, tanks.

Ever since 8-man party removal and respawn immunity - pvp in shatter went downhill. It was already a bad mode to begin with, and they took away any incentive to pvp. Now it’s even worse, just make sure you put your <icebreaker> title cause that’s all anyone is doing anyways.

What they could’ve done to shatter was basically create a big ground node around the ice every time they spawned. You wouldn’t need to hit the ice for points. You would generate points just by being in the ground node, eventually depleting it. People fighting in said node space would get extra points for killing opposing players (kill pts + node pts factor).
